Mate, know the feeling.

A few months back, I was walking back to my car. Noticed a red plastic thing stuck my rear wheel. Thought it was some choc bar wrapper or something.

Took a closer look and peeled it off - it was paint! All the layers including the primer. Someone had reversed into me, scratched the car above the arch (which I can't polish out despite painting over it).

Gutting.

The sooner you get it sorted, the less painful it is.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

You may want to ask JPC if he knows any good bodyshops - he's not that far from preston.

If you have to ask why, you'll never understand.

tell the bodyshop you are willing to pay a bit more for a good job. so if it comes back with orange peel, bad paint match or anything like that you can send it straight back to them to do it again.
